Where to buy a 90 degree Drill Bit
|
|
| jysullivan@hotmail.com 2008-04-02, 3:25 am |
| I'm doing some maintenance on my electrical system. I purchased a
special L90 box, which is required by code to install a foundation
level outlet. I went to an electrical supply store to purchase this
box. The clerk told me that I must purchase a 90 degree drill bit,
which he explained as a standard drill bit with a 90 degree bend in
it. He told me these can be purchased at most hardware stores. The
instructions that came with the box shows a detailed drawing of these
bits. They are basically just a standard bit but they have a 90
degree bend in the middle of them so they will drill around corners.
I spent most of the day going from hardware store to hardware store.
No one carries them. I even called Sears and Snap On Tools. No one
has them. Where can I buy them?
Thanks
Jerry

The clerk gave you the wrong name....go back to the hardware store and
ask for an "outside corner bit".

Harbor Freight. Most of their shit is so bad, it might as well be
bent 90 degrees. ;-)
